The Carl Spencer Scholarship

The late Carl Spencer

A note worthy of everyones attention.

As many of our readers know well, Carl Spencer lost his life seven years ago in a diving accident while leading the 2009 National Geographic Expedition on the HMHS Britannic. Our Organization felt that:

a/ no tribute [at least not in Greece] has been paid to Carl, and

b/ we always aim at the Friends of Kea Society-SFK to accompany our events with a “Good Cause”.

Hence, we decided to accomplish both by establishing the “Carl Spencer Scholarship”. For realizing this program we have set-up an “International Kitty” for fund raising purposes. This has a form of a SFK Bank Account with the following details: Piraeus Bank, IBAN No.:GR60 0172 7030 0057 0304 5867 985 & SWIFT-BIC: PIRBGRAA, activated to receive donations of any amount from anywhere in the world. 👍

Furthermore,

Account Bank balances collected PLUS any additional monetary proceeds from the “100 Years Kea’s Shipwrecks” event will be used to award scholarships to top level graduating students from the Kea island High School and Technical Lyceum.

For this purpose, already under way is the Students Evaluating Committee-SEC with representatives from the schoolteachers and principals, from the Parents Association, from the Student Council, the Hon. Mayor of Kea Municipality and the President of the Friends of Kea Society.

Donations will be solicited from the International Diving/Historic Community as well from Domestic Foundations, Corporations, NGO’s & individuals.
